This photograph is part of a set that has been created to celebrate the opening of South Tyneside Council?s new leisure centre, Haven Point, on 28 October. It focuses in particular on life along the foreshore at South Shields during the 1950s but also includes a few images from further down the coast.
South Shields has long been a popular seaside resort and also has a proud industrial heritage. Times have changed, though, and many of the old industries such as shipbuilding and coal mining have disappeared. Rather than stand still and accept this change in fortunes, South Tyneside Council is pressing ahead with an ambitious vision to transform the Foreshore, Town Centre and Riverside areas into vibrant destinations. Haven Point is a key part of this change.
Tyne & Wear Archives and South Tyneside Local Studies Library have a vital role to play in this. As South Shields is regenerated and forever changed the Archives and Local Studies serve as its memory. We keep alive a window into the town?s past, preserving the history of people, places and industries that no longer exist. South Shields must look forward but its sense of direction will be lost if it forgets where it came from.
These images, together with a fantastic selection from South Tyneside Local Studies Library, can be seen in a digital exhibition at Haven Point. You can also see images from the Local Studies Library online at www.southtynesideimages.org.uk/.

July 1924. Children from Sunderland School for the blind going on an excursion to the hayfields. The charabanc is parked outside the Central Library and Museum in Sunderland. Many of the children had never been in a motor before.
?To them, their fingers are eyes?
From 1913, John Alfred Charlton Deas, a former curator at Sunderland Museum, organised several handling sessions for the blind, first offering an invitation to the children from the Sunderland Council Blind School, to handle a few of the collections at Sunderland Museum, which was ?eagerly accepted?.

General background in production engineering and material science, some knowledge of mechanics and polymer science is assumed.

Aging involves an intrinsic and progressive decline in function that eventually will affect us all. While everyone is familiar with aging, many basic questions about aging are mysterious. Why are older people more likely to experience diseases like cancer, stroke, and neurodegenerative disorders? What changes happen at the molecular and cellular levels to cause the changes that we associate with old age? Is aging itself a disease, and can we successfully intervene in the aging process?This course is one of many Advanced Undergraduate Seminars offered by the Biology Department at MIT. These seminars are tailored for students with an interest in using primary research literature to discuss and learn about current biological research in a highly interactive setting.

Name: Elizabeth M Cambettie alias McCree
Arrested for: not given
Arrested at: North Shields Police Station
Arrested on: 3 November 1906
Tyne and Wear Archives ref: DX1388-1-43-Elizabeth M Cambettie AKA McCree
The Shields Daily News for 3 November 1906 reports:
"LARCENY CASE AT NORTH SHIELDS.
At the North Shields Police Court this morning before Captains Bolt and Sanderson, Elizabeth Gambetter, a middle-aged woman, residing at 6 Bedford Street, was charged with stealing a skirt valued at 4s 6d, the property of Ellen Gorman, on the 2nd inst.
The prosecutrix, a domestic servant, employed in a shop at Swan's Quay, said that for some days past she had been sleeping at the house of the accused, paying her 1s a week. Yesterday morning she returned from the shop at 11.30 and found several things which had been in her pocket lying on the table. Missing the skirt she questioned Mrs Gambetter, who said that someone had come into the house and taken it. Witness did not believe the statement and informed the police.
Evidence was given showing that the prisoner pledged the skirt with Messrs Fisher, Church Way, for 2s 6d yesterday morning. Detective-Inspector Thornton proved the arrest. Accused admitted that she pledged the skirt as she was very short of money, but she meant to redeem it. A fine of 10s without costs was imposed, with the alternative of 14 days in gaol".
Elizabeth Cambettie (or possibly Cambetti) is also mentioned in the Shields Daily Gazette on a number of previous occasions. The Gazette for 2 September 1904 reports that:
"An Italian named Cosmo McCree, who keeps a boarding house in Clive Street, was summoned at North Shields for an assault upon his paramour, Eliz. M. Cambetti. Complainant, who was represented by Mr Chapman, told the Bench she had lived with defendant for four years."
These images are a selection from an album of photographs of prisoners brought before the North Shields Police Court between 1902 and 1916 in the collection of Tyne & Wear Archives (TWA ref DX1388/1).

Much of the site of Arbeia that we see today would have been covered with streets and houses during the First World War. However a small section in the middle of the fort site, containing the most extensive ruins, was open to the public as a park for recreation and to study the Roman Remains. The park was created in 1880 after excavations were carried out prior to building works and public interest in the Roman ruins was very high. It was then decided to keep 0.45 hectares of the site uncovered and the Roman Remains and People?s Park was born. Across the Southern portion of the site was Baring Street School, part of which still stands today and is part of the museum complex and in the North West corner of the site stood the lodge or the park keeper?s house.

From 'Street Life in London', 1877, by John Thomson and Adolphe Smith:
?I had, for instance, an occasion of discussing with two boardmen who seemed worthy of a better position. The first had been trained as a smith, and engaged in the making of iron bedsteads. Now, however, smiths are no longer employed for this sort of work. It has been found more expedient and economical to make bedsteads with cast iron, and this change in the mode of manufacture threw many men out of employment, and notably my informant, who gradually sank to that state of misery when street life becomes the only means of existence. The other board man with whom I conversed was an old soldier, and had served nine years in the East Indies. He had shared in many glorious engagements, and was proud to relate that he had fought in Major-General Havelock's division at the relief of Lucknow. Probably his position in life would have been secured had he only received a good education; but he was not well enough read to occupy the post or undertake the business his friends were willing to offer him. He consequently dwindled down till he reached that point in life when anything that brings a few pence is heartily welcome. But the old soldier has still retained considerable energy. He is not content with carrying the boards during the day, but also seeks to make use of his evenings. He has, fortunately, often obtained a shilling a night at the Globe Theatre where he appeared as a supernumerary.?

Aerial view of the North Sands shipyard of J.L. Thompson & Sons Ltd, Sunderland, July 1964 (TWAM ref. DT.TUR/2/34170). The image also gives a great view of the surrounding area, including the football stadium, Roker Park.
This set celebrates the achievements of the famous Sunderland shipbuilding firm Joseph L. Thompson & Sons. The company?s origins date back to 1846 when the firm was known as Robert Thompson & Sons. Robert Thompson senior died in 1860, leaving his second son Joseph Lowes Thompson in control. In 1870 the shipyard completed its last wooden vessel and was then adapted for iron shipbuilding.
By 1880 the firm had expanded its operations over much of North Sands and in 1884 completed the construction of Manor Quay, which served as fitting out and repair facilities. For many years in the late nineteenth century the yard was the most productive in Sunderland and in 1894 had the fourth largest output of any shipyard in the world.
The Depression affected the firm severely in the early 1930s and no vessels were launched from 1931 to 1934. However, during those years the company developed a hull design giving greater efficiency and economy in service. During the Second World War the prototype developed by Joseph L. Thompson & Sons proved so popular that it was used by the US Government as the basis of over 2,700 Liberty ships built at American shipyards between 1942 and 1945.
After the War the North Sands shipyard went on to build many fine cargo ships, oil tankers and bulk carriers. Sadly the shipyard closed in 1979, although it briefly reopened in 1986 to construct the crane barge ITM Challenger.

This Learning to Teach Online case study aims to demonstrate how the effective use of simple 'just in time' style online tutorials, stringently prepared and designed to support the needs of the students, can positively impact student learning when used in conjunction with traditional teaching approaches. Stephanie Eckoldt and Dominic Alder from the University of Bristol examine the reasons why they adopted an online supported teaching approach, and discuss key considerations in the planning and use of online tutorials. It is hoped that teachers in a wide range of different disciplines will be able to relate how the use of online tutorials would be of benefit to their own students' learning. Any teachers or students studying medicine and surgery are freely able to access and use the Hipp

Title: Korean women playing 'go'
Date: ca. 1904
Place: Asia: South Korea
Type: Postcards/Ephemera
Description: 'Paduk' (Korean) or Go (Japanese), has been a highly popular game played in China, Japan and Korea for centuries. The Go-game board is a wooden square which has 361 intersections formed by 19 vertical and 19 horizontal lines. Each player is given either white or black round flat stones and is free to place in turn one stone at any point of intersections. Placing the stone continues until the game is over. The player with the black stones usually starts. The players try to conquer territories by enclosing vacant points by enclosing them with their own stones. Single stone or many stones of the opponent can be captured and removed from the board by completely surrounding them with your stones. A player's final score is determined by the number of territorial points he/she made, minus the number of his/her stones captured by the opponent. The player who has a higher score wins the game. Note that some of the women playing this game here are smoking cigarettes. The same picture is shown in www.koreanphoto.co.kr/culture/enter/11.htm.

The decades leading up to the Atlantic revolutions of the late eighteenth century were formative moments in the rise of capitalism. The novel instruments of credit, debt, and investment fashioned during this period proved to be enduring sources of financial innovation, but they also generated a great deal of political conflict, particularly during the revolutionary era itself. This seminar examines the debates surrounding large-scale financial and trading corporations and considers the eighteenth century as a period of recurring financial crisis in which corporate power came into sustained and direct contact with emerging republican norms. The seminar ends with a look at the relationship between slavery and the rise of “modern” or “industrial” capitalism in
